Implementing issue #5573

[bb4L]

I would be happy to contribute a fix for this / extend the current functionality so that renovate can handle merge trains

• Support GitLab "merge trains" #5573

as far as i understand this could be done by adding the same logic as there is for the /merge/ call for the merge train api:

current code:

renovate/lib/modules/platform/gitlab/index.ts

Line 716 in e90a581

for (let attempt = 1; attempt <= retryTimes; attempt += 1) {

merge train api:
https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/merge_trains.html#add-a-merge-request-to-a-merge-train

any ideas if there is something special to it that i might miss?

I'm opening this discussion as stated in guidelines for contributing

Before you start any Pull Request, it's recommended that you open a discussion first if you have any doubts about requirements or implementation. That way you can be sure that the maintainer(s) agree on what to change and how, and you can hopefully get a quick merge afterwards. Also, let the maintainers know that you plan to work on a particular issue so that no one else starts any duplicate work.

Hi there,

Please give your discussion a meaningful title. This helps others understand what your discussion is about, and increases the chances of getting help.

Do not use titles like "Need config help", "Renovate is not working", etc. Try to summarize the specifics of your problem or question in the title.

Thanks, the Renovate team
